Description

Lower urinary tract disease (LUTD) refers to a group of disorders that commonly leads to irritation of the urinary tract and corresponding undesirable clinical signs.

What causes Lower Urinary Tract Disease? In cats, bacterial infections are far less common. Urinary crystals and stones are often linked to this disease. The most common cause of Lower Urinary Tract Disease in cats is idiopathic cystitis. This diet promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.

Key Benefits

Feline Urinary SO Moderate Calorie is a highly digestible, palatable, complete and balanced adult cat food recommended for cats at risk of developing lower urinary tract disease and who are predisposed to weight gain

Formula increases the urine volume to simultaneously reduce the saturation of urine with struvite and calcium oxalate precursors

Provides nutrition that aids in the management of pure struvite uroliths

Feeding Instructions

Transition Instructions

We recommend at least a 7-day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

My Cat LOVES This!

I’d never have dreamed my 10 year old cat, Hope, would “dive into” a prescriptioned canned food, but she loves this food! I should explain, she’s NEVER eaten canned food of any variety; as she’s always been fed dry food. Her dry food is the same prescription, Royal Canin Urinary SO Moderate; so, it’s possible this made it easier to add the canned version into her daily diet. Has gravy! Lol!

If only it had different flavors

This is doing what it's meant to do: helping with urinary problems. The cats like it. But they get tired of the same stuff all the time, then refuse to eat it. To remedy that, we alternate with an occasional tin of grocery store cat food, just to keep their interest

My boys love it!

Both of my cats inhale this wet food;) And I love that there is a moderate calorie option for them - they eat the full calorie version in the summer when they’re able to be active outside, but in the winter I help them keep their weight healthy with the moderate calorie formula. Since I’ve been feeding this to my boy with serious problems with bladder crystals, we’ve not had another medical incident (Bless the LORD!), and that’s been some years;)

Picky cat or bad food?

Sometimes my cat eats it and sometimes he leaves it to dry out. Not sure if it has anything to do with the color of the food inside the can but, sometimes the food is light brown and sometimes it is a pinkish color.

It's working!

My cat was severely blocked and had to be catheterized twice, hospitalized for 7 days. It was so scary. We didn't know if he was going to be ok without some crazy surgery I really didn't want to put him through. I would've if I had to, but because of THIS food, I didn't have to. Hopefully I never will. Jake didn't like the pate version of the urinary SO but is crazy for this stuff. I add some water to it and he loves it even more. I have to say that I'm generally not a fan of the ingredients in prescription diets. You read the label and think "never!". Before he became blocked, he was on a healthy diet of mostly can food. My cats also have a fountain with a filter to stimulate more fluid intakeMy cat was severely blocked and had to be catheterized twice, hospitalized for 7 days. It was so scary.

My cats also have a fountain with a filter to stimulate more fluid intake. I know the dangers of dry diets in cats and feed them appropriately. His body is just more inclined to develop crystals. The "stuff" in this food, despite the other "bad stuff", helps to dissolve those crystals and keep more from forming. I do pour some broth over it every now and then and give him other healthy can varieties in small portions, as a treat. His main diet though, every day, is this food. I can't stress that enough. This food has saved my cat from so much suffering and us from the stress of having him at the vet.... I leave the dry version out overnight when I'm not here. I work 16 hour shifts and he has to eat while I'm away. He hasn't had any trouble with the dry version but I prefer him to eat more of the can.… more
